Power Given commands were created as 0 byte files

I were checking few processes running and check what at the files currently I have in my home directory by giving below commands
Code:
$  ps -ef|grep sleep
$ ls -lt | pg

after awhile the first column of my commands were created as files given below...
Code:
-rw-rw-rw-   1 prd           0 Mar 25 09:42 ls
-rw-rw-rw-   1 prd           0 Mar 25 09:41 ps

I could not figure it out how on earth this happened?Smilie I'm pretty sure that I did not create these files...

Any help on this would save my day (this happened in my production box)
